The Clement Weaver - Daniel Howland Home - Built 1679

East Greenwich ~ Rhode Island

With many of the remaining seventeenth-century homes held in 'public' hands, living in this primitive home has been a rare opportunity. After fifteen years we can still walk into a room and find something we never noticed before. From original details, to appreciating the settlers' challenges in gathering and putting to use their limited resources.

This web site was formed to help the many people who have over the years, written, called and visited our home. Some simply curious; others in search of long-ago ancestors.

The home was sold to a private party on December 12, 2011 and the website is now maintained by descendant Frieda Weaver Gockel.

The descendants who found the house through this site joined to form a Descendants of Clement Weaver site on MyFamily.com. Others researching their Weaver roots found us and we have grown to about 50 members. With the closing of MyFamily.com, we can now be found at FamilyCrossings.com. We continue our research on the new site, adding to the many photos and stories that have been transferred from MyFamily.com.

To receive an invitation to join, contact one of the administrators: frieda.weaver@gmail.com, williamweaver@usa.net, or wweaver@optonline.net.

Further research on the ownership history of the house has been done by Bruce MacGunnigle and appears in his new book Strolling in Historic East Greenwich. His research (as it appeared in the local newspaper) can also be found on the descendants' website.at Family Crossings.
